VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Legible Inc. (CSE: READ) (FSE: D0T) (OTC: LEBGF) ("Legible” or the “Company”), announces that, further to its October 20, 2022 News Release, it has increased the size of its private placement of units (“Units”) from up to $500,000 to $694,566 (the “Private Placement”).
In addition, Legible announced that it has completed the closing of the Private Placement. Legible issued 6,945,656 Units at a price of $0.10 per Unit for gross proceeds of $694,566 (less the finder’s fee of $3,447 for net proceeds of $691,119; $328,153 of which was the settlement of outstanding indebtedness). All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement are subject to a hold period that expires on March 22, 2023. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement for ongoing technology development, marketing, and general working capital purposes.
“We are very pleased to be able to announce oversubscribing our Offering in these challenging markets,” said Legible CEO Kaleeg Hainsworth. “We deeply appreciate the support shown by both our investors and creditors.”
“Legible Publishing has received unsolicited inquiries from authors and content providers to explore conversion of conventional ePubs into Legible Original Living Books, following our release last week of bestselling author T. Harv Eker’s first in a series, Don’t Believe a Thought You Think,” said Angela Doll, Legible’s Chief Publishing Officer. “Legible is excited to expand our capacity to deliver on this unique differentiator for our Company, along with our other revenue streams.”
Mr. David Van Seters, a director of Legible, subscribed for 127,975 Units and Ms. Shannon Kaustinen, also a director of Legible, subscribed for 120,000 Units under the Private Placement. Legible has determined that exemptions from the various requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 are available for the issuance of the Units (Formal Valuation - Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets; Minority Approval - Fair Market Value Not More Than $2,500,000).
Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (“Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (“Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of $0.15 for a period of one (1) year from closing, provided that if, at any time, after the date that is four months and one day following the closing, the volume weighted average trading price of the common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) is at least $0.45 per share for a period of 5 consecutive trading days. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 21 days after the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the Warrant holders, which notice may be by way of general press release.
As noted above, finders acting in connection with the Private Placement received fees in the aggregate amount of $3,447 and 34,472 finder’s warrants. Each finder’s warrant may be exercised to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of one (1) year from the closing; provided that if, at any time, after the date that is four months and one day following the closing, the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the CSE is at least $0.45 per share for a period of 5 consecutive trading days, the expiry date of the finder’s warrants may be accelerated by the Company to a date that is not less than 21 days after the date that notice of such acceleration is provided to the finder’s warrant holders, which notice may be by way of general press release.
Legible also announced that, further to its December 23, 2021 News Release, it has amended the terms of the engagement with Red Cloud Securities Inc., a company that provides market-making services to Legible, to increase the monthly fee to $7,000 from July 1, 2022 to March 31, 2023.
